Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup chopped nuts (optional, pecans or walnuts)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)
- Optional glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp milk or cream
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth edges (about 12×12 inches).
- Brush the melted butter evenly over the puff pastry.
- Mix brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle evenly over the buttered pastry. Add chopped nuts if using.
- Starting from one edge, carefully roll the pastry sheet into a tight log.
- Slice the log into 1-inch thick rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up, spaced about 1 inch apart.
- In a small bowl, whisk egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg wash for a shiny golden finish.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
- (Optional) Prepare glaze by whisking powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.
Notes
- Use cold puff pastry for best puff and flakiness.
- These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving.
